Spaced Invaders - Good Bad Flicks 

"Prepare to die Earth Scum" is one of my all time favourite movie quotes. Loved this film as a kid.

“Is there air? You don’t know!”

I loved this movie. I remember when my dad brought it home from the video store. I was skeptical, but I loved it. I still quote lines from this. My dad still refers to people as Captain Bipto from time to time.

Still one of my favorites. Saw it in the theater 5 times and watch it every year around Halloween.

Man, I loved this movie when I was younger. Then, when I got a bit older (and discovered weed) I rediscovered it. Now, I’ve tried to show it to my kids. My oldest daughter said it was lame and old - the exact quote included “... so old it should be in black and white.” On the other hand, my youngest daughter loves it; she thinks it’s hilarious and like the “Jack Nicholson” alien. Well... I know who’s not gonna be in the Will.

When you mentioned the Martians I instantly remembered them with the telephone. They were so awesome. Yup yup yup yup.

Sam's played by Douglas Barr, who played Colt Seavers's nephew, Howie, on the action series, "The Fall Guy". He later became an episodic director, working on "Sweet Valley High".

I love Spaced Invaders I pull out my copy and watch it regularly. The special effects are passable and have stood the test of time a hell of a lot better than some big budget flicks of the time. The movie never trys to be more than it is and you can sit back and enjoy the ride.

I remember my older brother taking me to see this in the theater, and I thought it was pretty funny. Even my brother was laughing at some of it. It actually holds up pretty well and shows what practical effects can accomplish, even if they're simple.

One of my favorites when I was a kid. Just introduced this movie to some friends a couple months ago.

When I was a kid I watched this movie so many times. I still love it.

Goodbadflicks is always an instant click for me. Thanks for making my day Cecil

Another fun bit of trivia: Klembecker is played by Gregg Berger, a veteran cartoon voice actor best known as the voice of Grimlock.

I feel like this must've been inspiration for Invader Zim.

I'm a little buzzed right now, but I still remember my Opa (German for Grandfather) taking me to this and enjoying the heck out of it as a little guy (love the Martian who was the pilot). Your channel provides a lot of joy for people. Carry on bud! XD

I will always remember Royal as gramps in House 2 The Second Story, you should do that movie.

I love this movie. One of my good friends who sadly passed away about three years ago had a halloween ritual where he and his family would watch this every time the holiday rolled around without fail. I tagged along and watched this with them for three or four years. I have some great, but bittersweet memories of watching this with my friend and his family before he died. I'll have to go back and watch it again some time.

Lol wow I remember this movie. We used to have 2 Vcrs so we could record movies we rented onto a blank vhs. My mom recorded it for me and I only remember Royal Dano from Killer Klowns an I just could not get into the movie. It seemed to just go on forever! However I was like 6 years old at the time. .maybe I need to give it another shot. Thanks for reminding me of this nearly forgotten film!

I hope you have as much fun making these as I have watching these Cecil! I absolutely love these!

5:43 - I've watched this underrated movie more than I should have throughout my life and can positively state that the towns people are less angry at the fact that there's no way out of Big Bean (beyond normal roadways) and more at the fact that their new highway off-ramp has been destroyed before its time, seeking mob vengeance against The Martians simply out of spite. A good joke in my opinion.

This was a gulity pleasure when I was younger, so seeing as review of it made my day Keep up the amazing work

I remember this from back in the day and yeah, it's quite fun! I need a more recent rewatch to see how well it holds up!

He has to save the farm or the Fraggles will have no where to live!

Extra points for casually dropping "doggo" in a sentence. That should become normal jargon.

I liked this movie as a kid

Loved this movie then... still love it now! For me, it was a college classic that I shared with my kids later in life.

I must of seen this movie a half dozen times since it came out, and I loved it every time.

Oh man! I watched this way back on VHS... the only part I remembered was the aliens singing "home on the range" and someone dressed as a duck tackling someone else while screaming "YOU'RE ALIVE" At some point, I thought it was a fever dream... Thank you, goodbadflicks

I worked at a movie theatre when thus came out. It's always been a guilty pleasure for me. I even kept the poster from the theatre.

I was 14 when this was in theatres. And that one scene when their captain was ran over on the highway, was cut from the theatrical viewing. That scene was one of the reasons I wanted to see it (The comical timing was funny at my age then) but they didn't show it.

THANK YOU so much for reviewing this flick. This is a movie my family would watch near Halloween every year and even my mom could get in on the quotes "or in your case, a whole LOAF of toast" .. lol.. Another great episode.

I have a ton of love for this movie. I feel like when it is mentioned it gets dismissed out of hand but it's so much better than any of the ET knockoffs of the time. I recently rewatched it after not seeing it since I was a kid, and besides being really nineties it holds up. So many great moments, like Klembecker passing out cigarettes to trick or treaters, the Martians blowing up a corn silo thinking it's a missile silo, Vern as a weak nerd turned badass Zorro, Captain Bipto stuck in the car grill, the carnivorous duck. Gotta see if I can make people watch this on Halloween.

YES!! Thank you for remembering this lost cult-classic! I LOVED this movie as a kid, and It STILL makes me laugh! (even my hard-ass dad liked this movie!) "Prepare to die, Earth Scum!" and "Captain Bipto!" are too lines I repeat constantly with my friends. Gets a laugh every time! We will always have a soft-spot for this one. =)

I saw this movie when it first came out in theaters. Actually, it was the first time ever going to the theaters. I love it, my favorite line? "Ain't you dead yet?!"

saw this one in the theater, my friend and I were the only ones laughing. Love this movie.

That little blonde girl had no idea she would be in one of the greatest movies of all time. Good for her.

Is anyone else thinking what I'm thinking? Spaced Invader Zim! The aliens on Earth crossover event of the century!

This movie is a piece of my childhood and if on an old VHS tape in my closet

God I love this movie. My parents owned a VHS copy and I used to watch it all the time.

Spaced Invaders has held up quite well and still entertains.

LOVE this movie! It has become a yearly tradition to watch this around Halloween at my home.

Oh Snap! I entirely forgot about this flick. You win this time!

My favorite line from this movie was, "They're not evil, just stupid." Brilliant.

Gotta say this movie holds up better than most of the other ET-sploitation/kid-friendly alien movies do. Silly but not dumb, a competent cast, and surprisingly good SFX. Those Martian costumes look pretty good all things considered.

Wow! I can't believe you did this film!

I love this channel. I watched this constantly as a kid and had totally forgotten it existed until now. So many good memories.

I remember watching this as a kid. Loved the sweet bomber jacket the lead alien was wearing.

Ariana Richards was also in the Tremors franchise well, 1&3. Which #1 was prior to spaced invaders. Oh and her father the Sheriff was Howie in “The Fall Guy”.

I think I watched this a bunch as a kid, because seeing it now it feels like a strangely lucid fever dream.

*I’LL TEAR THIS TENT APART, WITH MY BARE HANDS* !!!!!!!

Loved this as a kid

This is one of those movies I haven't seen since I was kid. Basically forgot about it. It was one of those things that just felt like a dream, until I experienced it again. It all slowly came back to me. I feel transported. Thanks for the reminder. Nostalgia was what got me here all those years ago. The fact that you loved Freaked when I asked about it didn't surprise me, but felt awesome. Only my family members know it, cause my dad showed it to me when I was a kid. That and Killer Klowns (which ruined dream from ages 5-10). I'm okay now, in case you were wondering.

Loved this as a kid. I saw this SO MANY times :D Thank you GBF!!

I watched so many times growing up. I'm only now remembering what it's actually called, because I think our VHS recording had a different title labeled on it, lol.

This is and will always be one of my favorite movies for the Halloween season. My best friend and I quote it...to this day! lol

I loved this movie, it was silly but still entertaining. Scout in a can has been a mainstay in tabletop sci fi rpgs for me since I saw it on this. "Scout in a can! Smart, efficient, easy to use and expendable!"

Holy balls, i remember this!

I saw this in theaters in college. It was one of our favorite films, despite not quite being the target audience.

Always been one of those weird favorites from my childhood. I used to go to sleep watching this just about every week.

The nostalgia whiplash just hit me hard. I loved this movie growing up.

GoodBadFlicks "Surge" that takes me back.

Thanks Good Bad Flicks for the memory jog. I actually remember watching this when I was a kid. I thought this was based off the arcade game "SPACE INVADERS" but I was wrong. I still liked it. I kind of liked them paying a quick homage to TOP GUN with teh one alien being a bad pilot that wore a heavy brown jacket and shades. I think when I was a kid I thought it was ok. Beyond that yeah it's more a kids flick. I'm surprised they put it on DVD. I saw it years ago on VHS.

that aliens voice sounds like from garbage pail kids perfectly

I've seen this movie about a dozen times. I loved this one.

These guys make Sgt. Keroro and his platoon look like weapons of mass destruction.

Even though i have not seen this flick, like so many others on this list, I absolutely love your series! I started watching exploitation films and schlock B grade movies back in the early 90's thanks to an old friend who had like 400 movies on VHS, and I was hooked. Many of them that I have seen from that massive VHS collection, you have either explored or done a good bad flicks about. I introduced my wife to your channel and she learned a lot about my past ( and present ) " goodbad " guilty pleasure film adoration. I don't know. I suppose this is just very nostalgic for me and in the meantime, she gets an education in something she has never known about. I guess what I am trying to convey here is that I just frickin LOVE this stuff. You make ART Cecil and it rocks. keep up the good work.

One of my all-time favorites.

I watched this ALL THE TIME as a kid and always think I imagined it cause NO ONE i know has. Well played Cecil

I unironically love this movie so much. Even have the cardboard cutouts still I think. It’s not perfect but it’s fun.

Omg I remember this movie when I was a kid. Thanks for posting about it.

I remember watching this when i was little after it came out on video. I enjoyed it .

As I am born & raised in Chicago, I appreciate that you pronounced ILLINOIS correctly.

I loved this movie growing up. The last time I saw it was about 12 or so years ago when my friends left me to trip on shrooms with this on tv. It made for a pretty entertaining experience.

Sadly missed this back in the day, shame :D

this channel is awesome, the content always leaves me speechless with admiration, and it must have the coolest and most positive subscribers on RU-vid !

Haha Orson Wells frozen peas. I understood that reference.

Orson Welles still scoping those peas from heaven.

how can you not love this film. love it growing up

I finally remember this movie from when I was 4-5 years old.

" WHAT IN BLUE BLAZES IS THE CIRCUS DOING UP IN THESE PARTS " " POOH BEAR WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY DOG "

Those "bottles" of Surge sure do look a lot like cans! lol

This is one of my all time favorite goofy family comedies...from the great soundtrack (the opening music during the battle is epic and fun, full of menace and energy) to the goofy writing ("I'm so proud!' from the Enforcer Drone at the end, holding the 'award') it had me literally LOL'ing with a big smile on my face...fun stuff.

I remember watching this every Halloween on Disney Channel

One of my favorite movies. Right up there with Mars Attacks! and Coneheads in terms of screwball sci-fi alien invasions.

You are a great youtuber don't stop!

"Martians are trying to conquer Earth but are too stupid to know how". Suddenly I was reminded of Invader Zim.

This was my childhood fave

I love this movie. I hate saying it because, yes, it’s not a great movie, but it did inspire me. I was about sixteen when I saw it, out of the marketed age range, but I was bored. The character of Verndroid really resonated with me and I wanted to see more of him or characters like him. So I created my own called Captain Bugg and drew comics to entertain myself at first but then other kids in my class wanted to read them as well. I made life long friends because of that and it all started with Spaced Invaders.

OMG!!! Haven't thought of this movie in ages!!! Thanks for the memories!!! Another great job!

As soon as I hear that old man's voice, royal dani, I'm automatically thinking of Gramps from House II.

Patrick Reed Johnson is actually a professor at my school.

Holy shit I've been trying to remember what this movie was called based solely on my recollection of the DOD scene! Thank you for this!

I really loved this movie growing up

That loudmouth banker is also the voice of Jecht/Sin in "Final Fantasy X"....and Odie on "Garfield".

Yes! Best ever, thank you! One of my favorite old movies

Another possible reference: the drone looks like a bit like a smaller version of the martian tripods in War of the Worlds.

I completely missed this movie, thanks for the video. :)

Another great video. Two movies I wonder if you've seen/will feature are "The Silencer" with Lynette Walden and "Petticoat Planet." Great examples of 90s B movie fun.

saw this in theaters when it was first released....really enjoyed just how silly it was...also have this on vhs somewhere...yes, that's still a thing in my world

I remember this popping up frequently on cable years ago (along with the invasion movie with Paul LeMat and Nancy Allen). After seeing the beginning of this, as well as Killer Klowns from Outer Space, I thought all Royal Dano played was crazy old farmers who encountered aliens. It wasn't until I saw Johnny Guitar, Man of the West and Electra Glide in Blue that I began to appreciate him as an actor. By the way, how many times did you have to watch this movie to pick up on the deputy's sunburn being an homage to Close Encounters of the Third Kind?
